Business malpractices, such as the sale of overpriced, underweight and adulterated foodstuffs and essential commodities, can pose serious threats to subsistence consumers' wellbeing, given they are more vulnerable than their affluent counterparts. Drawing on 40 interviews with subsistence entrepreneurs in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, our findings provide insights into the interplay between religiosity and social responsibility of entrepreneurs. We further explore how socio‐economic conditions and local embeddedness—two important characteristics of individuals in subsistence marketplaces—moderate the relationship between religiosity and social responsibility of entrepreneurs, providing implications for consumer welfare at the macro‐level. Our research makes a distinctive contribution to three streams of literature relating to social responsibility, subsistence marketplaces, and consumer affairs, with specific policy implications. 相似文献

AbstractThis paper examines the relationship between the breadth and depth of cultural exposure (CE), intercultural sensitivity and intercultural competence to draw implications that can improve recruitment and staff development practices in organizations with a culturally diverse workforce. Findings from a survey (N = 214) in Australia support the notion that intercultural competence is a broader concept that requires a deep exposure to other cultures as compared to intercultural sensitivity. The findings suggest that breadth of CE has limited potential whereas depth of CE is more beneficial in improving an individual’s intercultural abilities. Implications are drawn based on the findings of the study such that organizations are able to recruit and develop employees who are truly interculturally inclined and can effectively navigate the challenges of working in today’s multicultural organizations. 相似文献

Developing countries have recently experienced a burgeoning of small-scale individual entrepreneurs (SIEs) – who range from
petty traders to personal service workers like small street vendors, barbers and owners of small shops – as a result of market-based
reforms, rapid urbanisation, unemployment, landlessness and poverty. While SIEs form a major part of the informal workforce
in developing countries and contribute significantly to economic growth, their potential is being undermined when they engage
in irresponsible and deceptive business practices such as overpricing, sale of underweight or substandard products, or attempts
to hoard goods, to name a few. Despite the growing interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of small
businesses in developing countries, the SIEs have received almost no attention. To address this void in the literature, we
explore the reasons for the less than optimal level of social responsibility demonstrated by some SIEs in developing countries.
We do so by drawing upon the existing literature to develop a comprehensive framework of social responsibility of SIEs highlighting
their unique characteristics and the different contextual factors that they encounter in developing countries. Based on this
framework, we then present a set of propositions specifying the influence of these contextual factors such as business environment,
cultural traditions, socio-economic conditions, and both international and domestic pressures on the business practices of
SIEs. The framework offers an explanation for the lack of responsible entrepreneurship of SIEs and has important implications
for promoting sustainable business practices in developing countries where businesses are striving hard to survive and compete. 相似文献
